Overview

The Sirui SC-TH NATO Top Handle is designed to give filmmakers a secure, comfortable grip point on top of their camera cage while providing ample mounting real estate for accessories. Built from CNC-machined aluminum alloy, the handle weighs a mere 165 grams yet supports loads up to 22 lbs (10 kg), striking an effective balance between portability and strength. The silicone-textured grip area provides a non-slip surface that stays comfortable during extended handheld work, and its shape is particularly useful for low-angle shooting positions where a top-mounted grip reduces arm strain.

Mounting versatility is a key strength of the SC-TH. It attaches to camera cages via an included NATO rail that secures with two 1/4-inch screws, and the handle slides onto the rail with a quick-release knob for fast setup and teardown. On the handle itself, three cold shoe mounts—two equipped with safety spring pins—let you attach monitors, LED lights, microphones, or wireless transmitters without worrying about accidental detachment. Six additional 1/4-inch threaded holes and two 3/8-inch ARRI-standard locating holes open up further possibilities for magic arms, super clamps, and other rigging accessories.

The handle can slide directly onto the NATO rail and is secured with a built-in knob, facilitating easy installation and removal; Note: For optimal use, pair the top handle with the included NATO rail
